Fitting front arch liners

[OssPoop]

One of my front liners fell off last year but luckily it wasn't until I went over a speed bump on our street so I was able to retrieve it. However the front edge of it had obviously been rubbing on the road and had worn down a bit. Looking at it today I think I can reattach it to the bottom of the bumper but how is the liner attached to the inner arch? I don't want to re fit it for it to just blow off again!

Is it the arch liner that sits at the front and in the bumper?
Held in the bumper by 2 horizontal bottom screws and 1 vertical at the side of the bumper and then 2 of the plastic inner grommets mid way up the front arch. There should also be a flappy plastic section that protects your bottom pulley, this clips on to your subframe support hanger.

I'm gonna need some of those plastic fasteners then, do you know where to get some from?

I guess the flap is missing too!

Yes sorry mate - looks like the flap is missing.
The plastic grommet things are readily available on eBay - if not got loads here.

Yep. Flap is missing.

Mine came off as the clips holding it to the frame has rusted and snapped.

The flap is actually part of the arch liner and not a separate flap. Ofcourse you can buy it second hand separately but not brand new.

Anyone got a pic of the offending flap?

Yeah that but has definitely been ripped off! I've got some thick flexi plastic so I'll see if I can secure that somehow to keep the s**t out.

Cable ties are all you need!

With 4 well placed drilled holes and using the cable ties as hinges.

Half of the plastics under my car are currently held together by cable ties
